Access Issue: Inside a national park. Permission will be required by the park to climb here (and everywhere else in KKTH. Details

The access here is the same for all other crags within the park.

Description

This wall is in the sun for most of the day and get can quite hot on sunny days. If you are camping in what seemed to be the best long term camping area then this is actually one of the closest walls to you. The rock here is very high quality granite.

Getting There

If you are driving from the park entrance in the golf carts/ tourist buses it will take roughly 30-45 minutes to get to the start of the approach to the wall. Get off the golf cart at the public toilets that are just past the small bell 小钟山. From here the approach is roughly 15-30 minutes depending on which part of the long wall you intend to climb on. Stone staircases will take you a good distance up the hill. When you reach the top of the small stream you should leave the paved trail and follow faint trails to the wall.
